Lightbourne's too old.

Give the bloke a fucking chance will you? New team new players and a manager trying what formation works with the players.

Lightbourne or Bakayoko?
Regardless, I suspect just about all of us would like nothing more than for him to score.
(Just be prepared to wait a bit longer than with some other forwards for that sweet sweet loving)

He's already scored... Even then people tried their best to be negative.

What he's done in the past is irrelevant to the future.

Doesn't every club?
Anyway, Barnsley at home(? may have been away. Dire defeats to Barnsley blur into one!) and we featured the classic forward line of Lightbourne and Haworth. Bit of a comedown from Dublin.
tbf, always seemed a bit harsh to judge Lightbourne, as he'd been signed as a bit of a punt in case he came on. He never did, of course! Haworth was a different matter, as we decided he was the better bet than Robert Earnshaw...

It's almost as if we've contributed to his wages........

God, just checked, and Simon Haworth is younger than me. Where have the years gone?!?

Nope. Shouldn't give him a chance. He was crap at Walsall so will be crap here. No player in the history of football had ever done well at one club and poorly at another.
Fingers crossed he doesn't get back on that plane from Sierra Leone.

Lightbourne had scored 20+ goals in each of the 3 seasons before signing for us, and on that basis was a reasonable punt, given that he was joining an established Premier League team as a squad player. There really is no comparison between the two players in terms of their records when they joined, but equally there is no comparison between the club Lightbourne joined in 1997, and the club Bakayoko has now joined, other than the shared name of Coventry City, so really don't know what point you're trying to make. Bakayoko is the sort of unproven player teams in this league take a chance on so get over it and hope that he turns out to be decent.

Exactly. No comparison to be had.

Lightbourne looks like he'd take you out for a nice dinner first but treat you mean. Bakayoko looks like he'd give you a cuddle after.
That what you're after?

I think Bakayoko will be a better player than Lightbourne. If he gets a run you would expect at least 7 goals from him this season.

FFS Leave Bakayoko alone will you!
He has only just arrived and people who dont know any better are already slagging him off.
He is a good footballer and is still getting to grips with a new club and new team-mates and a new style of playing.
This guy is a young lad who will give everything he has to get it right.
He is also a thoroughly decent human being who gets involved in helping others less fortunate than himself so jog on!
AMADOU IT FOR THE HOMELESS

Random fact, Lightbourne was capped by Bermuda at cricket. He was also Dwayne Leverock's coach during the World Cup when he did "that catch".

They're quite big fellas so they're more likely to be shot (which I think would be agreeable to a few on here)
